Chapter 327 Blizzard
At this moment, more crystal clear snowflakes suddenly fell from the sky. They fluttered down like countless white butterflies dancing in the air.
The snowflakes fell lightly on the two of them, covering Lin Ze and the other with a flawless white wedding veil, making their figures look particularly beautiful and romantic in this world of ice and snow.
The whole world seemed to become a dream because of their love.
However, good times are always short-lived.
Just as the two were immersed in the warmth, without any warning, a violent hurricane suddenly swept in, as if to tear the entire world apart.
The wind was so fierce that it instantly rolled up a blanket of flying snow, forming a white curtain that covered the sky and the sun.
Lin Ze subconsciously hugged Xue Yao tightly in his arms, and his arms protected her firmly to his chest like an iron hoop, fearing that the raging wind would mercilessly blow her away.
However, the blizzard became more and more violent, howling and roaring like a furious beast, devouring everything around it.
Lin Ze tried his best to open his eyes and see clearly ahead, but the raging wind and snow kept hitting his face, making it almost impossible for him to open his eyes.
Gradually, they were completely lost in this white chaotic world, and the road they came from had long disappeared without a trace.
After a lot of effort, Lin Ze managed to open his eyes, but was shocked to find that he and Xue Yao were already in an endless white wasteland.
The scenery all around was exactly the same, and there was no way to tell the direction.
At this moment, Xueyao, who had been nestling in his arms, couldn't help but tremble.
Her originally rosy face had now turned as pale as paper, without a trace of blood.
"Yao'er, what's wrong with you?" Lin Ze was anxious and asked loudly.
"I... I'm so cold..." Xueyao's voice was as thin as a mosquito and so weak that it was almost inaudible.
Hearing this, Lin Ze's heart sank suddenly, and a deep fear surged in his heart.
He knew very well that in this extremely cold place, if they could not find a shelter from the wind and snow as soon as possible, then death would be the only thing waiting for them.
Thinking of this, Lin Ze didn't dare to hesitate at all. He gritted his teeth and used all his strength to carry Xue Yao on his back.
Then, take a deep breath, take heavy and firm steps, and move forward step by step towards the unknown future.
Every step he took felt like he was carrying a heavy burden, but he never stopped, because he knew in his heart that if he relaxed even a little, they would really have no hope of survival.
Lin Ze trudged through the snow with difficulty, when suddenly he saw what seemed to be a small house in the distance.
He felt a surge of joy in his heart and quickened his pace towards the cabin.
When I got closer, I found that it was just a shabby hut, but it was better than nothing.
Lin Ze pushed open the door with Xue Yao on his back, and the room was filled with a stale smell.
He found a corner and gently put Xueyao down.
He then began to look around for something to keep warm, and luckily he found some wood in a corner.
Lin Ze built a fire, and the warmth from the flames gradually dispelled the cold.
He looked at Xueyao in his arms, his heart filled with pity.
In this world of ice and snow, they can only rely on each other and get through this difficult time together.
Lin Ze hugged Xue Yao tightly in his arms, as if he wanted to transfer all the heat in his body to her.
He gently stroked Xueyao's cold back, hoping to make her feel even a little warmth.
As time passed, Lin Ze always maintained this posture without any slackness.
Finally, after a long wait, Xueyao's originally stiff body gradually softened, a trace of heat emanated from her, and her breathing was no longer as rapid and weak as before, and began to slowly stabilize.
Seeing this scene, Lin Ze, who had been worried, finally breathed a sigh of relief.
He carefully laid Xueyao flat on the ground, then gently covered her with a coat to make sure she would not catch a cold again.
After doing all this, Lin Ze sat aside exhausted, thinking to himself: Let's rest here first, and wait for Xue Yao to recover some strength, then we will continue on our journey.
Thinking of this, he slowly closed his eyes and planned to take a rest.
But just as he was about to fall asleep, a light yet unusually clear sound of footsteps reached his ears.
In an instant, all of Lin Ze's tiredness disappeared without a trace. He suddenly opened his eyes, stood up with a somersault, and at the same time, his right hand quickly grasped the sword at his waist, tightly gripping the hilt, looking towards the door with vigilant eyes.
With a slight "creaky" sound, the tightly closed door was slowly pushed open, and a black shadow slowly appeared at the door.
Lin Ze looked closely and saw that the black figure was tall and wearing a black cloak, and his face could not be seen clearly. A mysterious and dangerous aura emanated from him.
The shadow slowly walked into the room, and Lin Ze's nerves were tense to the extreme. He held his sword tightly, ready to deal with any possible attack at any time.
However, the shadow did not launch an attack, but stopped a few steps away from Lin Ze. It stared at Lin Ze silently, and after a moment, it said, "Don't be nervous, I have no ill intentions."
Lin Ze frowned and asked in confusion: "Who are you? How do you know we are here?"
The shadow raised his head slightly, revealing a pair of deep eyes. "I am here to help you. The snow outside is too strong and you can't go on. Come with me, I know a place where you can avoid the cold."
Lin Ze hesitated for a moment, his eyes swept over Xue Yao lying on the ground. In the end, he decided to trust the black shadow, after all, there was no better choice at the moment.
"Okay, we'll go with you." Lin Ze helped Xue Yao up and followed the shadow out of the room. The shadow led them through a narrow corridor and came to a simple but warm stone room.
"This is my temporary residence. You can rest here." After saying this, the black shadow turned and left.
Lin Ze looked at the back of the black shadow with gratitude, and then took Xueyao into the stone chamber. He found a corner, let Xueyao lie down, and stayed beside her, thinking about the next plan.
Lin Ze stood quietly guarding beside Xue Yao, the thoughts in his mind were like the turbulent sea, one wave after another without a moment's rest.
He frowned and stared ahead, thinking hard about the identity of the mysterious shadow and the reason why he helped.
However, no matter how hard he racked his brains, he could not uncover the mystery.
At this moment, the snowstorm outside was still raging, and the strong wind was howling, making the whole world seem to be shaking.
In this cold and chaos, finding a safe place that can shelter from the wind, rain, wind and snow has become a top priority.
Perhaps only when the snowstorm stops will they have a chance to find a way out of here.
During this brief moment of peace, Lin Ze stared at Xue Yao intently, paying attention to her every move.
